Prey killing without invasion by Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus defective for a MIDAS-family (2024)
Journal Article
Tyson, J., Radford, P., Lambert, C., Till, R., Huwiler, S. G., Loverering, A. L., & Sockett, R. E. (2024). Prey killing without invasion by Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus defective for a MIDAS-family. Nature Communications, 15, Article 3078. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-47412-3

The bacterium Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus is a predator of other Gram-negative bacteria. The predator invades the prey’s periplasm and modifies the prey’s cell wall, forming a rounded killed prey, or bdelloplast, containing a live B. bacteriovorus. Re...

Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus uses chimeric fibre proteins to recognize and invade a broad range of bacterial hosts (2024)
Journal Article
Caulton, S. G., Lambert, C., Tyson, J., Radford, P., Al-Bayati, A., Greenwood, S., …Lovering, A. L. (2024). Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus uses chimeric fibre proteins to recognize and invade a broad range of bacterial hosts. Nature Microbiology, 9(1), 214-227. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41564-023-01552-2

Predatory bacteria, like the model endoperiplasmic bacterium Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus, show several adaptations relevant to their requirements for locating, entering and killing other bacteria. The mechanisms underlying prey recognition and handlin... Read More about Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus uses chimeric fibre proteins to recognize and invade a broad range of bacterial hosts.
